Posted By: Imright, 11/6/2023 10:44:49 AM
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday that Washington was working “very aggressively” to dramatically expand the amount of aid reaching trapped civilians in Gaza. The top US diplomat held 2.5 hours of one-on-one talks with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan focused on soothing the anger at both Israel and the West of one of Washington’s most strategic but difficult allies.NATO member Turkey has been an increasingly vocal critic of the way Israel has been pursuing its month-long offensive against Hamas militants who staged an October 7 attack into Israel — the deadliest in the country’s history.

to Open ‘Temporary’ Amnesty for Palestinians
in U.S. 5 replies
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is pressing President Joe Biden to offer Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Palestinians living in the United States, ensuring they cannot be deported under most circumstances.
CAIR officials, along with the Americans for Justice in Palestine Action, wrote to Biden on Tuesday evening, asking the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to give TPS — a quasi-amnesty program — to Palestinians in the U.S., as well as offering them Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) to ensure they will not be deported.
CAIR officials write:

An Upper East Side café where baristas quit in protest over the Jewish owner's support of Israel is now busier than ever with customers lined up around the block to show their support.
The owner of Caffe Aronne, Aaron Dahan, was left short-staffed Tuesday morning after his baristas quit on him when he addressed the 'Free Palestine' pins they wore to work.
Dahan, 25, said a total of five baristas walked out since the October 7 terrorist attack in Israel, in which Hamas slaughtered 1,400 Israelis and kidnapped more than 200 civilians - including at least 13 American citizens and 23 Thai Farm workers.

US adults by wide margins say top universities are not doing enough to crack down on anti-Semitism and support for Hamas hardliners on campus, a DailyMail.com/TIPP Poll shows.
Nearly two-thirds of respondents to our survey — 63 percent — said elite schools were failing to meet the challenge of hateful rhetoric. Another 14 percent disagreed, and 23 percent said they were unsure.
Our poll comes as top schools have become a flash point over Israel's escalating military offensive into Gaza, aimed at destroying Hamas militants who murdered and captured hundreds of people, mostly civilians, last month.
A defiant Rep. Rashida Tlaib said on the House floor that she will not be 'silenced' after a resolution to censure her advanced.
Tlaib, D-Mich., noted that she is the only Palestinian-American in Congress. 'My perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let you distort my words,' she said in a passionate speech.

Joe Biden on Monday delivered remarks at Amtrak Mechanical Services in Bear, Delaware in which he announced $16 billion in federal investments for railway projects in Delaware.
Biden, 80, not once, but twice – in less than an hour – repeated the debunked story about an Amtrak conductor named Angelo.
“When I was Vice President they did an article that Biden had traveled I think it was 1,200,000 miles on aircraft…and so I’m getting on the train…and I guess I shouldn’t say his whole name…and then he walked up and he goes, ‘Joey baby!’ and grabs my cheek and I thought they were gonna shoot him,” Biden said to laughter.

Washington— The prosecutor overseeing the Hunter Biden investigation testified Tuesday that he had the ultimate authority in the yearslong case as he made an unprecedented appearance before Congress to rebut Republicans’ explosive claims that the probe has been plagued with interference.
Weiss’ interview with the House Judiciary Committee marked the first time a special counsel has ever testified to lawmakers in the middle of a probe. He agreed to the unusual appearance under heavy pressure from House Republicans, who are looking to ramp up their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden and his family.

Co-hosts of The View mocked former President Donald Trump and Trump attorney Alina Habba, mimicking and belittling both over their conduct at Trump’s fraud trial.
Trump was the star attraction Monday at his trial in the fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James and presided over by Judge Arthur Engoron.
But while Trump made several key admissions on the witness stand, his attorney Habba effusively praised his performance and lashed out at the judge in remarks outside the courthouse. Habba took exception to the judge instructing her in courtroom behavior and, apparently, to his use of the gavel.
Honest question: Does any Democrat in America really want Joe Biden to run for president in 2024?
Put your hand down, Jill.
America threw a cold bucket of reality in the Left's face this weekend with a new poll showing Donald Trump trouncing Biden in five of the six most important battleground states one year before the election.Even Barack Obama's top toady David Axelrod, who masterminded Barry's historic rise to the presidency, suggested on Sunday that Biden hasn't stepped down already because he's a narcissist.
'If [Biden] continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party,' Axelrod sulked on Twitter. 'What he needs to decide is whether that is wise;

President Joe Biden's administration has attempted to restrict popular consumer products through regulations and other means while in office.
The Biden administration cited environmental effects as the reason for many of the restrictions being pushed through the Department of Energy and other federal agencies, with the Interior Department's proposal to phase out plastic straws being the latest to face scrutiny. Here is a look at five things the Biden administration is looking to phase out. Gas stoves...

Donald Trump and his allies have begun mapping out specific plans for using the federal government to punish critics and opponents should he win a second term, with the former president naming individuals he wants to investigate or prosecute and his associates drafting plans to potentially invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office to allow him to deploy the military against civil demonstrations.

The Biden administration reportedly would not sell weapons to Israel unless the country guaranteed that guns would not be given to civilians.
In other words, they are now trying to force their gun control desires into foreign policy issues.
As many people have pointed out, a large portion of the Israeli’s who died in the October 7th attack were not armed, which made the situation much worse than it could have been.

The American Medical Association (AMA) will debate whether to reverse its stance on assisted suicide this month at its next interim meeting. A set of resolutions, proposed by AMA’s Resident and Fellow section, suggest the AMA should abandon its opposition to assisted suicide, adopting instead a neutral stance on the practice. The resolutions also propose changing the official language from “assisted suicide” to “medical aid in dying” (MAID) at the meeting,[Snip] These proposals, if adopted, fundamentally change the AMA’s position on assisted suicide. The AMA determined in its last policy deliberations that assisted suicide is “fundamentally incompatible with the physician’s role as healer.”

Removing Limits on Abortion, Gender-Transition Procedures 19 replies
Ohio voters approved a ballot measure Tuesday night that will effectively outlaw any restrictions on abortion and other procedures that involve reproduction, including gender-transition surgeries.
The measure, known as Issue 1, will also remove parental-consent and notification requirements for minors who undergo the procedures.
The amendment includes vague language about prohibiting any law that “directly or indirectly” would “burden” or “interfere” with “reproductive decisions.” Opponents of the measure argue it would also outlaw nearly any restrictions on abortion or other reproduction-related procedures,

In 2014, Jones was 47 years old.

Special counsel Jack Smith's team filed a lengthy response Monday to former President Donald Trump's motions to dismiss his federal election interference case on statutory and constitutional grounds, saying the former president "stands alone in American history for his alleged crimes."
Trump's lawyers have filed multiple motions to dismiss the Jan. 6 case, including mounting arguments that the charges brought against him were unconstitutionally applied and ran afoul of the charging statutes. Trump in August pleaded not guilty to charges of undertaking a "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election by enlisting a slate of so-called "fake electors," using the Justice Department to conduct "sham election crime investigations,"
